The Peoples' Temple church was a "social justice" organization established by Jim Jones in 1955 that existed until November 18 1978 when "Jones and his inner circle orchestrated a mass murder–suicide in his remote jungle commune at Jonestown, Guyana." (Wikipedia)
Jones was not merely an SJW. he was a fully fledge communist ideologue.
What follows is from Wikipedia:
Further criticizing traditional Christianity, Jones wrote a booklet titled "The Letter Killeth", criticizing the King James Bible, and dismissing King James as a slave owner and a capitalist who was behind a corrupt translation of scripture. Jones claimed he was sent to share the true meaning of the gospel which had been hidden by corrupt leaders.[132][133]
Jones rejected even the few required tenants of the Disciples of Christ denomination. Instead of implementing the sacraments as proscribed by the Disciples, Jones followed Father Divine's holy communion practices. Jones created his own baptismal formula, baptizing his converts "in the holy name of Socialism".[122]
While in the United States, Jones remained fearful of the public discovering the full extent of his communist views. He believed that if the true nature of his views became widely known that he would quickly lose the support of political leaders and even face the potential of having Peoples Temple ejected from Disciples of Christ. Jones also feared losing his tax exempt status and having to report his financial dealings to the Internal Revenue Service.[79] Jones took care to always couch his socialist views in religious terms, such as "apostolic social justice".[79] "Living the Acts of the Apostles" was his commonly used euphemism for living a communal lifestyle.[134]
Jones warned his followers that an apocalyptic race war, genocide, and nuclear war was imminent. He said that Nazi fascists and white supremacists would put people of color into concentration camps. Jones claimed he was the messiah sent to save the people by giving them a place of refuge in his church. Drawing on a prophecy in the Book of Revelation, he taught that American capitalist culture was irredeemable "Babylon".[77][135] Explaining the nature of sin, Jones stated, "If you're born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you're born in sin. But if you're born in socialism, you're not born in sin."[136] He taught his followers the only way to escape the supposed imminent catastrophe was to accept his teachings, and that after the apocalypse was over, they would emerge to establish a perfect communist society.[77][135]
